It's not a GPS toggle...it's a data toggle, as you deduced in your edit. This ROM, in several ways, marches to the beat of a different drum. I think it's the future of 2.2.1 on Cappy. Cause even if AT&T & Sammy bother with a 2.2.1 for Cappy, AT&T will just muck it all up with their stupid requirements.

Bug Tracking

1) On Reply in Active Synch Email app, background is dark and so is text - very hard to see what you're typing.

2) Use wireless networks is not working.

_Update 03-02-2011: Issue # 2 is fixed! :D

3) Just got 1st incoming call on this ROM and Phone FC'd and lost signal.

4) Editing a Google contact: black on black in fields;

4a) Menu that comes up when choosing what phone # type (Home, Work, Cell, etc.) is black on black;

4b) Buttons to Save or Cancel are also black on black.

I'm not seeing google talk anywhere. Is there an APK I can grab and add to get it back?
[Captivate Android Development] fritzgerald:
Added to bug list. Thanks for the heads up. Until the fix comes if you rotate your screen the text color should change.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Ha, cool. Never thought to try that.

And, once again, great job Fritz! This theme is as good or better than any I've seen. Just so happens blue is my fav color too. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
bad flash just reflash

lol he's obviously fooling with you ..

1_ already fixed

2_ we need more info , I dont have this problem if you flash another rom your wifi works right away ? also what type of router you got ?

Will add this and any other apk you need to 2nd post ..

So you guys need facebook , google talk and what else ?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Looking good...just it seems the buildprop is still not able to see FPSE so I will have to edit mine I suppose.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Yep, you have to get the .so files in the /lib/ folder too, they are there from the captivate being preloaded with swype. That's fine though man, I'm registered with Swype now so I won't have to worry about it again. :cool:

Oh yeah, I did send that file to you in a PM DAGr8. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
I did the Swype upgrade last night. Removed existing Swype with TB. Could not remove the other files becuase I couldn't get root explorer into RW in the System directory.

Swype would not install. Then I rebooted the phone and it worked. I think all you have to do is remove existing Swype with TB, then reboot, then do the new install.
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
boomeron,

Thanks for the Bluetooth post 373.

I have it working now but have a question regarding TTS. I found an android TTS engine on Market but my phone already has a TTS engine called Pico. I'm not crazy about it and would like to try another text engine but can't figure out how to make the change.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
DAGr8,

Can I disable the shutdown sound?
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Is Market hosed up lately? It shows five apps in My Apps. I have many more.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
If you have no remanants of the preloaded swype then yes, but I had done 3 or 4 reboots after manually deleting the swype.apk and it was a no go with the update until I deleted the 2 files in the /lib/ folder.

This is an issue brought up over in the swype forums for people with pre loaded swype too. It all depends on whether those 2 files; libSwypeCore.so and libSwypeCore.########.so with ### being a version number; are there or not as the downloaded beta does not add those 2 files to the /system/lib/ folder. That's why I [posted the solution here and in that forum. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
lol yes you can , I wondered why nobody asked about that first :P

market is not hosed it happens often on fresh flash ( to me anyways ) downlaod any apps you doitn have installed if it s stuck at downlaoding just reboot , upon reboot it weill downlaod it automatically and all your apps willbe there .

well yea thats exactly the problem , on fresh flash ( of rc5 for example ) you wont experience any problems at all ..
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Easy way: SGS Tools > Modify Boot Sound/Shutdown Sound.

Yep, that was my experience too and what the Swype website instructions tell you to do too.

Yep, me too. And I've tried, in the past, build.prop edits and that didn't fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
I noticed that Pico TTS is already installed...My post should have indiacted that you need voice synthesis...my experience is that Google Nav and Choice Dialer both will prompt you to install the voice synthesis if you go in to one of the apps without it.

As far as I know, the Android TTS is the voice synthesis piece...installing it will not give you an option to change from Pico as the default engine, which sucks! I'll look in to this more later as I do have a few contacts that Choice Dialer - or any other voice command app - has a hard time with.

--Edit--

Pico TTS determines what you hear from the phone, not what the phone hears from you in terms of voice commands. I did find another one in the Market - search SVOX. It's free but you have to buy the TTS "voice." Not worth it to me - I need Google to improve their voice recog engine or find an app that can replace it, which I don't think exists/is possible.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Have you played around with Vlingo? I use it for voice dialing through my BlueAnt ST3 in my truck and it works great. It also recognizes the BlueAnt as an external speaker and microphone, so all calls, texts, emails can be read through it instead of the phones external speaker. Very handy free program. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Vlingo's voice recog is awesome!!! I used it before, but stopped when I found Choice Dialer because it wakes the phone; I was never able to get Vlingo to do that.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
can you include the jj4 or kb1 or rogers swype? im not sure which version im running but i had it in a .zip for the captivate and it is working with your build.prop with no issues. i even used metamorph to theme it to match the blue steel theme. i think others would appreciate it with the expiration of the betas.
[Captivate Android Development] fritzgerald:
So, been gone a few days and noticed you all having some cosmetic bugs. Im gonna be going through tonight and taking notes on the cosmetic issues to get them resolved. In the mean time, jastx i'm looking at you :D, if there is a theme you guys want ported let me know via PM or posting here. I'm not one for going and porting random themes for the fun of it but if some are requested I can do it.
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Good timing Fitz! I'm running unthemed RC4 with no black on black issue...that is until just now. I saw DAGr8 added the battery with percent zip and added it. Looks like it reinstalled the whole theme not just the batter mod. So now all my text probs are back and I have to revert.

I'm looking around for a good clean contempory/sophisticated them to request a port. This one is interesting but I'm not really sure what it looks like now. Check out the screen on post 14. I'd like to try it and see:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971076

I also like the look of this one but it's really the background that does it. Otherwise it's GB. I'd like to find that background for my unthemed RC4.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=863860

Can you see the direction I'd like to go? I just started looking for themes and wallpapers so these two are all I found so far.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
They actually have an option for wake up from voice but only when InCar mode is running. Supposedly hogs the battery too. Other than that though, I think Vlingo is one of the best apps of its kind and free sweetens the deal. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
hey there , yu shoudl flash the uninverted zip thats the one youneed /.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Yes, I found that feature when I was using it and almost concluded it was the way to go. It really is a great app, and I even commented in the app on the market that it would be perfect if it would wake the phone without needing to use car mode.
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Are you saying the latest univerted zip includes the new battery montior (I thought my RC4 WAS the latest)?
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Contacts name sort

I'm very pleased with my RC4 uninverted theme install and performance but there are a couple of outstanding glitches.

CONTACTS sort - as posted previously, NEW contacts added to the phone have a sorting mixup. It properly stores the first and last names as entered but sorts by first name when last name is selected and vice versa. Doesn't happen with existing contacts so it's something in the way the new record is saved. Really screws up the contact list. Can someone else please try this and report back?

COMPASS and any apps that use direction -- not working. The needle shakes just sitting there and will change direction by itself. Changes dramatically when the phone is moved in any plane. Condition can be seen in Google Maps and any other app using direction. Anyone else experiencing this?

MARKET APPS - Please explain again how to get Market to show all my apps instead of just five. I understand this is common after a new flash but I didn't understand the explanation for how to correct it in a previous post.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
FYI: I previously posted the following:

I've tried Contacts and an not having your issue. Post more details on how you are creating the new contact (i.e. Using Touchdown, or from the Contacts app; saving it to phone, sim, or Exchange, etc.).

Compass issue is related to stock kernel and is not correctable. You'll need to flash another kernel, such as hardcore's.

I think the answer to the market apps issue is it's a known issue without a current solution. If you find out how to correct it please share with us.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
easy load market and download any app .

any free app that you dont already have

reboot phone voila !

the other issues were correctly addressed by boomerod . need more info on how you add the contacts , also try adding one via google and hten sync see if it still happens

RC5 will have custom kernel and custom modem , and will most likely be the last of the release candidates , I suspect all bugs to be fixedfor RC5 but we will have one more just to be sure .
[Captivate Android Development] neptronix:


Custom modem hmmmm as in
[Captivate Android Development] fritzgerald:
Ohh. I hope its got that new US Robotics 56k!
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Thanks for the helpful info. I'll try a new kernel for compass. What are the best choices right now for speed, stability, and any other cool differences?

CONTACTS: I use the standard Contacts app for all contacts as Touchdown only displays my Outlook Exchange contacts and I have few of those but it does integrate with standard Contacts. So, all I'm doing is creating a New Contact from within the Contacts app, entering first and last name info where the fields indicate (first name in top field, last name in bottom field), entering the phone numbers and saving to Phone -- couldn't be more basic.

If the Contact Name is entered as the fields indicate, it is sorted and displayed like the screen shot attached -- properly displayed in last name, first name format as it should from my settings, but inserted in the contact list (also last name, first name format from my settings) sorting it on the first name as the last name.

This happens only with NEW contacts. Existing contacts work correctly. If, as a temporary workaround I switch the first and last names in the contact record, it then displays in the correct place in the contact list but of course as first name, last name. This is why I think a glitch is occurring as the new record is being saved, saving the display first and last names correctly but maybe combining them backwards in another field used for sorting.

Thanks for your help on this.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
lol sorry I meant non stock , not custom .. rofl
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Ha! Somebody is showing their age! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Sure you did...I was hoping for a fax modem. :p
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Quick reply here: there does seem to be some issues still with Contacts. I'll post shots in minute. I can tell you that I started out with Sort By First name; Display By First name (my personal preference). With these settings all is well - sort by and display order. However, when I switch either setting, trouble ensues.

--Edit--

OK, I don't have any contacts saved to my phone. The test contact I created I did save to the Phone; it displayed correctly, based on my settings, but did NOT sort correctly.

I reset my phone to erase all contacts and accounts. I then went in to Contacts app and set the Sort to Last name and Display to Last name first. Then I added my Google account (where I store all my personal contacts). They did NOT sort correctly, although they did display correctly.

Now, I noticed this bug the other day but decided to overlook it since it did not effect the way I normally sort Contacts (Sort: First name; Display: First name first): In a scenario where the Sort by differs from the Display by (i.e. Sort by: Last name; Display by: First name first, or vice-versa) the name appears fist goes dark as I scroll through the list.

Also found a bug in Date and time settings...will post separately.

DAG, I'll jump on IRC in a min so hopefully we can work through this.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Date and time settings - minor bugs

Bug 1:

Initial Settings from fresh flash: Hide AM/PM checked; Hide Clock checked.

Clock, including AM/PM are NOT hidden.

Resolved by toggling setting either/or/both once.

Bug 2:

Initial Settings from fresh flash: Automatic checked

Set date

Select time zone

Set time

They are all greyed out.

Change

any

of the settings in Date and time and when you come back in to it

Set date

Are all Active and Selectable.

Resolution: Toggle Automatic on/off, and all is well.

Tried Market app procedure a few times with no luck. The new apps I download show up, incrementing the list, but all the old apps are still absent.

As you know I'm running the unthemed RC4. However, when I visit Market, it's black themed like with themed RC4. Does that indicate anything?

Replied to boomerod's post. Though I am logged into a Gmail account, I don't use it. I opened Gmail and can see no way to add a contact, can you please explain?
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
jastx, look up in thread...somewhat replicated your Contacts issue. Testing possible fix now.

--Edit--

On Market apps, I think he's saying only the paid apps will show up initially...the list will increment as you load other, non-paid apps.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
use sgs tools and apply market fix tellme if that helps

also , I meant via your computer log in to gmail and add contact there , or simply use browser formn your phone to log in to gmail it gives you much more options then via the phone app
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Applied Market fix with SGS, no change.

I'll do the Google contact as a test and let you know the results but don't plan to use it regularly.
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Ok, I entered a new contact via Google Contacts on the web. Entered First Name in first name field, Last Name in last name field.

As you can see from the screen shot below, it behaves exactly as when in new contact is entered from the Phone Contacts app. It is correctly displayed Last Name first but sorted on First Name, not Last Name as it should be.

Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Need advice...

In trying to correct my Market "My Apps" display issue by downloading new apps, one of the apps I downloaded was Crazy Home Lite - sort of a launch manager like Zeam. It had a couple of cool wallpapers, one I'm using, but it also changed the look of my phone dial as shown below.

I deleted Crazy Home and did the Clockwork run of unthemed RC4 but the phone dial still looks the same. What do I need to do to get the unthemed RC4 dial back?

I think the unthemed RC4 over themed RC4 left a lot of themed screens, just not the ones causing black on black text problems. Would I have to do the full wipe RC4 themed version then the RC4 unthemed to get back where I was, or do we now have a non-full wipe themed RC4 (or RC5?)?
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
I have absolutely no idea whyyou are experiencing your market problem , how did you restore you apps ? that seems to be the source of the problem , if you used titanium back up , it has a feature to repair broken market links, so you can try that ..

the unthemed version was meant for themers , to make there themes , what is it that is still themed after you flash it ?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
LOL man! On second thought....LOL. :D
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Did you do a full wipe before flashing the unthemed dragon back on? Also, I assume you reloaded your correct Android ID and cleared the market's cache etc. right? :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] mpg2222:
I used Eris Market Fix and everything works good.
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
tazman, I don't know what you are talking about -- reloading my correct Android ID? Clear Market's cache. Never seen that in any instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
I restored apps with TB Restore Missing Apps with Data.

When I go to Market, it is black, not green. Thought is was themed. Here is a screen shot. Is this themed or am I wrong?

You think I should just start over? Flash back to stock with Odin and do a fresh install of RC4 unthemed?
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
yes its themed , use tibu to restore broken market links , it shoud fix your problem.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Guess you haven't read around that much, clearing the cached gets rid of all saved data that the market has in the memory cache and forces it to start fresh, not relying on the saved data. That's why there is a clear cache button next to each app in the task manager.

Your android id (not the same as the IMEI #) is specific to each phone but once you flash a custom rom your id will be the same as every one else that flashed that rom. That's why they have that app called Android Id changer. Some apps use that ID to know if you had it installed before. I always change my id back to my original from the first week I had the phone. It resolved apps not showing up in the market after I flashed to Cog 2.1.6 and many roms afterward and was a common issue back then. I was just throwing out things that I know work or worked before.

The fact that you hadn't seen it before means nothing except it's new info to you, not that it wouldn't help. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] Overgloc:
Is their anyway I can get voodoo sound to work on this rom? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
Just flash sucker punch kernel , or wait for RC5 it WILL have voodoo sound enabled..
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Sorry, must have come across wrong. I meant I hadn't heard that before, not that YOU don't know what you're talking about. I am fairly new at this. There are some incredibly helpful posts I have come across but you have to read hundreds of posts to come across them.

Like Android ID...never seen it mentioned. Where does one find their Android ID and how does one change it?
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
RC5 is up !!!
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
The default place to look is the Market on the phone, or if you are at a computer look on appbrain.com or market.android.com
[Captivate Android Development] Tenseiga:
Loving this rom. Good Job with it.
[Captivate Android Development] nuwayman:
Hey dag. So what is next for you if this is last update? Well you do a js7 version? Love the work you do.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
hey thx for compliment , so far my testing tells me kp5 is still smoother then js7 , so Im gonna stick with KP5 (unless source comes out for js7 before it does for kp5) , RC5 is most probably the last of the Release candidates , meaning there will be a Final Version . If Final is bug free I will take requests then :)
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
No prob jastx, I apologize too. I've been stressed out, finals on Mon and Tue next week and I swear I've hurt my brain somewhere along the line. :eek:

I'm not saying that will be the fix all just that it used to help as what you're experiencing happened quite a bit at one point, I hope of course that it resolves your issue but we'll get to the bottom of it one way or another, there is always a reason for the problem, just need to find it for the solution. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
so hows RC5 guys ?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^ Flashin it in a few minutes...I'm sure it'll be great, as were the previous RCs.

Appreciate all your hard work and time put into this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] carlc64:
DAGr8 just wanna say thanks for the hard work you put into this great ROM. For me RC5 is working great. Also wanted to say thanks to every one who has contributed their time and effort in helping to answer the many questions that has been asked and answered in this section. Keep up the good work.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
All of the new visual tweeks,etc. r looking good...

Really enjoying this ROM !
[Captivate Android Development] jcr81:
Need Help!

ok, I flashed the monochrome theme on top of RC5 but didn't like the blue market so I replaced it with a stock vending.apk file using root explorer and rebooted. Not it force closes on me. Can even open it. Could anyone help me with this?
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
I will find the time to attach the unthemed version here . It was really hard to find a workin version for this rom , here it is , I will also attach it to the op later
[Captivate Android Development] jcr81:
Thanks a bunch. It worked!
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
on rc5, works great. not really seeing any improvement with the memory tweaks and suckerpunch kernel. going back to glitterballs' kernel, da_g's control plane fix and jl3 modem, my most trusted combination. otherwise great, cant wait for more themes
[Captivate Android Development] neptronix:


Beyond awesome
[Captivate Android Development] Hondo209:
What's the difference between JS7 and KP5?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Sorry about that DAGr8, been testing at school and just flasher a few hours ago and it's awesome so far. I did go back to JK4 and the Paragon OC kernel, just performs smoother for me. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] JimmehDean:
JS7 is a rom for i9000. NKP5 is from the captivate's adopted chinese brother, the i9088. 2 different froyos for 2 different phones,
[Captivate Android Development] jcr81:
I really like it. Seems smoother and quicker than the i9000 roms including JS8. I do miss having the gps toggle in the notification bar and the ringer/notification volume link. I also can't seem to get used to the shuffle animation transition effect. I like the fly transition but not the shuffle (if that's what its called) so I just disable the transition animations in spare parts so I just get the fly in window animations. Other than that, I love it and will more than likely use this rom for a while. At least that's the plan :rolleyes:

I also love the monocrome theme. Just what I've been looking for!
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
You can limit animations in Display settings and with Spare Parts app. I have transition animation off and Window animation set to Fast (done in Spare Parts).
